Japanese Legends



From the first story in Yei Theodora Ozaki's
The Japanese Fairy Book

Just the Facts:
  • Place: Japan
  • Language: Japanese
  • What they are: legends, many with roots in events of the period 1000-1500 or slightly earlier, but written at that time. I recommend all of the stories in Yei Theodora Ozaki's The Japanese Fairy Book, free on the web.

Let's consider this a placeholder as I build out the site.
Once that's done, I'll be back to fill in the details--an essay,
links to online and Amazon books, and more. I'll be posting
updates on Facebook and Twitter. Follow along!

Until I get to it, you can read Ozaki's version of the stories
